The selection procedure is carried out by a committee appointed after applications close, and it consists of:

• the evaluation of the applicant’s qualifications and the verification of admission requirements
• the evaluation of the documents attached to the application, and more specifically:
  – abstract and thesis index or Portfolio of specific significant projects: up to 30 points
  – curriculum studiorum: up to 30 points
  – motivational letter: up to 40 points

Appplicants need to reach a minimum score of 60 points in order to be considered for admission.

Two ranking lists will be formed, one for each administrative category:

• non-EU applicants

The ranking lists will be based on the total score obtained by each applicant, in descending order. In case of equal scores, priority is given to the youngest applicant.
